Nobuo has dark blue and white feathers, his exact species of penguin could be the little blue penguin. He wears a paw shirt and below the shirt is and 'x' that seems to be his belly button. He has two black eyes, which look sort of sloped, giving him a tired look. His beak and legs are yellow.

As being a Lazy villager, Nobuo will enjoy eating and sleeping. He doesn't get along with Jock villagers since they excersise a lot and give him grief about it. Nor he will get along with Snooty or Cranky villagers because he shares different opinions on how much food they or himself should eat and the cranky villagers will offend him anyway.
